13 recorded transfers, 2004–2024. Sortable and searchable below.

Co-ops are normally measured by price per room, since square footage is not officially recorded for them. This building is shown in price per square foot because most of its sales carry documented footage, which makes the sharper measure the honest one here.

Change in the building’s median $/sf over each window, from the raw yearly medians — too few standardized single-line units here to adjust to an average-floor basis, so which apartments happened to trade moves these alongside price. (2022 marks the rate-shock inflection.) Like-for-like repeat-sale figures to follow.

The building trades as large-format NoMad loft co-op stock: half-floor and full-floor lofts with high ceilings and wide window walls, in share ownership, on a block now zoned for residential use rather than merely tolerating it. Turnover is low — seventeen apartments produce a handful of trades a year, sometimes fewer, with estates and long-hold owners accounting for a meaningful share. That thinness cuts both ways: comparable sets are shallow and pricing is negotiated rather than indexed, but the scarcity of the format supports value. Pricing tracks floor, full-floor versus half-floor, exposure and condition, with combined units at the top carrying a premium that has no in-building comparable. The usual co-op-to-condo discount is partly offset by the absence of any NoMad condominium offering equivalent floor plates. Unit-level transaction history is maintained in The Roebling Research Library and shared with clients during diligence.

The complete recorded-sale history for 38 West 26th Street, compiled from NYC Department of Finance transfer records and verified listing data, then enriched apartment-by-apartment by The Roebling Team research desk. Across sales with a public asking price, the building carries a median listing discount of 7.3% from the last ask — a recurring negotiation gap worth pricing into any offer or listing strategy here.

Each dot is one recorded sale with a known interior square footage, plotted by closing date against price per square foot. The line is the median $/sf each year, adjusted to a floor-standardized (average-floor) unit — so it reflects price movement, not which floors happened to sell that year. Individual sale prices in the table below are unadjusted — and you can click any dot to jump straight to that sale.

Every recorded sale

Sort any column; filter by unit or keyword. Prices are the recorded transfer amount at the NYC Department of Finance. Every sale sits in one of three states: counted in the building’s medians and trend; shown but excluded as a non-arms-length or nominal transfer; or shown and ⚑ flagged for review — a possible duplicate filing or an extreme $/sf outlier, held out of the statistics pending manual verification rather than allowed to move them.

The most recent eligible transfer recorded at this building is from 2024. Our records run through August 2026; no later qualifying sale has been recorded here, which for a small or tightly held building is common rather than a gap in the data.

Sources, exclusions and how these figures are computed

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-00827-0068) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate. Storage, parking, and commercial units are excluded from all figures. Floor- and line-level $/sf are time-controlled (each sale measured against the building’s going rate at the time of sale) and expressed at today’s pricing, so they isolate the floor or line premium rather than blend two decades of market movement.
